S8 Ep4: Espresso Martini: Russian & Chinese Spies in the UK and an Assassination in Canada

In today's Espresso Martini, Matt & Chris dive into the
assassination of Sikh dissident Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada.
They look at fresh details about Chinese and Russian spies in the
UK. They also explore an interview with Estonia’s outgoing
military intelligence, who reflects on his dynamic career; and,
after his liberation from a US prison, notorious arms dealer
Viktor Bout embarks on a second act in local Russian
politics.

Immediately following this show on Patreon, join Chris & Matt
on Extra Shot as they delve into Russell Brand and his 'brand' of
disinformation and conspiracy-mongering. They also examine Spy
Planes tracking Russian activity in Ukraine, explore the work of
the late War Studies Professor Christopher Coker, and critically
analyze fresh rumours about the future of the Bond
franchise.
